TALLINN (Sputnik) — According to the information received by the ERR online media outlet, the jets will remain in the Baltic country for several weeks and in that time will carry out training flights with other US and allied forces' aircraft.
The fifth-generation F-35 fighter jet is the most expensive weapons project in history, with an anticipated cost of more than $1 trillion over the next half-century.
In January, US President Donald Trump announced that the price of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program would be reduced by some $600 million following an agreement with Lockheed Martin, the US defense contractor in charge of the program. Trump has also discussed the possibility of reducing the cost of the new Air Force One Airplane with Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg.
